Has anyone found a source for the multi-ply hickory plywood used in the post-2007 cabinetry? I'm thinking I might want some so I can replace the carpeted boxes between the twin beds and the bulkhead with something a little more cabinet-like.

Started the rehab in Hickory last winter.
FYI the cost of 1/4 Hickory veneer core ply jumped nearly 50% from last year in the Chicago/Milwaukee megopolis. $62 a sheet.
But it looks damn good and machines great so there's no turning back now.

though I'm surprised to not find "hickory" among their listings, Welcome to M.L. Condon Company has always (25+ years) been a top notch supplier for us.

On my first trip to JacksonCenter for warranty work on my 2002 ASCL 31' I was talking to another Customer who mentioned that the service facility had a number of trash containers wherein they discarded many unusable finished trim and panel pieces.

Soooooooo, I went dumpster diving (no pride here)! I ended up with 200+ pounds of “Golden Oak” pieces parts. When I got home I was able to finish out some of the factory cosmetic “oversights”. I still have a pile of the stuff in the shed; you never know.

Next time your in Jackson, you might take an inventory of their trash heap as they don’t care if it walks off.

I have a '07 Safari 25FB SE. It has the typical "Safari" interior which means pretty much no real wood. I want to build a table like those that come in the Classics. I was under the impresison that these were solid Hickory planks (edge connected) abd that is what I should do.

After reading this thread it appears the table may be Hickory Plywood. Any comments?

Has anybody ever built one of these to replace the rather drab and uninteresting "Plastic" topped and fake oak trimed one? How did you approach the project?

It has been many years since I've been to Youngblood's though quite a treat it is. I build a walnut table years ago before deciding to quit doing any serious woodworking due to the risk of finger and hand injuries. Musicians are uniquely paranoid in that regard.

High All!
I am currently in Jackson Center and Roettger's Hardware is about 12 miles from the AS factory. They have been supplying AS with all of the hardwood cabinetry for the past 60 years. I went by their facility and ordered a pair of cabinet doors. We have removed the microwave/convection oven and are placing doors there to provide more cabinet space. When I met with the owners of Roettger's they were very receptive to custom making the doors for me. As a matter of fact they are making them and will be installing them on Tuesday of next week. Awesome people to do business with. They are a family owned business and really seem to want to please the customer. If you need any hardwood work done I would encourage you to call them. They will ship the finished product to you if you can't come to pick it up. My doors are 11 x 15 1/4 with the factory Hickory raised panel. Finished and ready to install for $68.00 each They are also finishing me a piece of hickory plywood for the inside bottom of the cabinet.

Based on the posting, I sent an e-mail this morning to Roettger's. In less than 15 minutes, they called me back!!!! I must have talked with Renee' for 20 minutes or more. These are just awesome people to deal with and provide Customer Service that most folks only dream about. It just doesn't get any better than this

If you have Custom Hardwood needs for your AS, I can highly recommend them....
